2011 - a Year in Kids Travel

It may be March, but that is still just the beginning of the year - so get planning for your Jet Setting.  I actually put this list in our latest newsletter, but somehow forgot to post it...better late than never!


Where to go in 2011?  Check out these ideas!


March: It has to be skiing, but this year, the alps are not snowy enough!  How about Whistler in Canada for a break with the littlest travellers OUTSIDE half term.

April:  Everyone in the UK is looking forward to the April of Holidays - head to Goa for a great kid-friendly break from the Royal Wedding hoopla.  Our blog has some great reviews here.

May:  Before it gets too hot to handle, hotfoot it to Morocco for some souks and splendour.  Hotel La Mamounia has hosted A-Listers like Jennifer Aniston, Orlando Bloom and Gwyneth Paltrow.  Why not you and your toddler?

June:  The perfect time to run for the hills.  Perhaps the "Heart of the Old World" as coined by Conde Nast Traveller - Kosice in Slovakia or Bled in Slovenia.

July:  There is no avoiding the tourist rush in July.  Just go with it.  There is little better than the south of France in the heat.  Here's a great "Top Ten" for kids in the "SofF".

August:  How about a break without the spector of an airline strike hanging over you?  If you live in the UK, escape to the Cotswolds - this hotel has a lovely garden to watch the kiddies play while sipping a glass of wine after a long walk.

September:  If your kids are too young for school, take advantage of it!  Jet off in September.  Villas with pools are a bargain later in the month.  Check out www.VRBO.com for some international inspiration.

October:  Getting decidedly chillier.  Thailand is Gorgeous this time of year and still in low season.  Avoid Phuket itself to find the real Thai hospitality on Railay Beach.  Break the bank Rayavadee or cheap(er) and cheerful Sun and Sand bungalows.  With a toddler be sure to go for airconditioning!

November:  End of November is a great time for fun in the African Sun.  South Africa has something for everyone.  Check out these great tips on safaris with kids.

December:  Before the rest of the month is dedicated to holiday chaos, how about getting in the festive mood with a German Christmas market?  The Gluhwein is divine!

  1. Its really coo blog. When a human body is delocalized to another time zone, it takes time to adjust to the new routine. Most importantly, the sleeping times undergo a change.

  2. Totally agree that jet lag can be painful for babies...and therefore for parents! I think treating it like you'd treat your own jetlag works best.
